tobuy that car

Wee you buy a car for cash, you pay
the factory price plus freight, war tax and
delivery charges. When you buy on time,
you pay an additional charge which in-
cludes fire and theft insurance. This
additional amount is known as a “finance
charge.”
The finance charges on General Motors
cars are low because the General Motors
Acceptance Corporation was organized to
assure sound credit practice and low
rates to those of its customers who prefer
to purchase on time. The Acceptance Cor-
poration operates the GM AC Plan of pay -
ment. The Plan is simple, fair and eco
nomical. Its large volume of business
reduces costs. It is conducted to give you
satisfaction and to keep your goodwill.
When you buy a General Motors car
on the GMAC Plan, you pay the cash
delivered price — plus only the low
GMAC financing charge—nothing
more!
The Plan is available only thrcugh
General Motors dealers. Another reason

or used—from a General Motors dealer.
